As of June 1, all travelers entering the United States by land or sea will need a passport. They already need them to travel to the United States by air. Canadian government confirmed this week it is prepared for the June 1 deadline. Close to 75 per cent of all adult Canadians hold passports. But only 35 per cent people in New Brunswick have passports. Passport Canada says it's ready for an anticipated spike in applications as New Brunswickers and other Canadians suddenly realize they're running out of time. The mobile passport unit is going to places that are not near a passport office.
